JESUS AND JUNG

Carl Jung and family

According to Carl Jung: "We all must do what Christ did. We must make our experiment.

Our rulers want us to be excessively angry, greedy, frightened and lustful so as to control us.

However, there is also a 'good side' to all of us.

Fr. John A. Sanford, in his 1970 book The Kingdom Within, sees Jesus's instruction "love your enemies" as an attempt to help us deal with all the parts of the whole, the 'dark side' and the 'good side', without hurting anyone.

Professor Wallace Clift has looked at Jung's view of humanity as "a story of developing consciousness".

Clift sees this as being similar to Jesus's idea of the 'Holy Spirit' working to improve us.

Jung called the 'dark side' the 'Shadow' and he reckoned that it comes from our animal ancestors.

Jung wrote: ‘"The shadow is that hidden, repressed, for the most part inferior and guilt-laden personality whose ultimate ramifications reach back into the realm of our animal ancestors and so comprise the whole historical aspect of the unconscious."

When the 'dark side' emerges, for example in a War I or in a divorce, many people look for scapegoats.

We demonise our enemy.

There is a tendency to blame everything that goes wrong on Moslems or Jews or Blacks or Gays or Gypsies.

Most people deny their 'shadow', unconsciously 'projecting' it onto others so as to avoid confronting it in oneself.

Jesus asked us to consider our own faults, before we look at the faults of others.

Jesus had dinner with tax collectors and sinners.

Jesus had his difficult moments.

"And if anyone will not receive you or listen to your words, shake off the dust from your feet as you leave the house or town. Truly, I say to you, it shall be more tolerable on the day of judgement for the land of Sodom and Gomorrah than for that town...

"But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites!...woe to you, blind guides...You blind fools!...You blind men!...You serpents, you brood of vipers, how are you to escape being sentenced to hell?"

Jesus was not necessarily kind to pigs or Greeks.

"The moment the evil spirits were cast into the pigs, they rushed headlong from the steep bank onto the lake and were drowned."

"The woman was a Greek ... she begged Jesus to drive the demons out of her daughter. 'First let the children eat all they want,' he told her, 'for it is not right to take the children's bread and toss it to the dogs.'"

If anything, Jung's sympathies were with the Nazi party. There is an abundance of evidence for that. Let's not forget that Jung was a multi-millionaire. Giving spiritual alms to himself, came a lot easier than spreading a little of his actual material wealth--to the poverty-stricken

Interesting that these lovely, life-sustaining articles (thanks, Aang) always stir up some hatred.

Doesn't Jung's Red Book express his spiritual awakening? I remember it being very beautiful.

What I find very interesting is initiation theory. A full life, including suffering and, importantly, creative expression leads to transfiguration. And yes, karma does have a lot to do with it. But to get there, it's best to move beyond the limitations of belief systems.

10 years, millions of dead, a country annihilated and an American load of depleted Uranium later! (but not a single weapon of Mass Destruction)

''As a key player in the region of Kurdistan, Genel Energy stands to do well the more successful Kurdistan becomes in continuing to establish itself as an entity separate politically from Iraq. With a long and complicated history of difficult relations with its Arab brethren in the rest of Iraq, it would surprise no one if eventually it should move beyond the proto-state it has already become to full independence at some point.''

Anngirfan... have ever heard the rumour Ahmed Chalabi, was meeting with The Rothschilds at their offices in London, just prior to the Iraq Invasion?

To all the brave men and women who bravely risked their life in Iraq... do you get a multi £100 million bonus too?

Duality. Jung.The infamous two way choice, the swing of the pendulum, inertia...Active Tense Passive Tense.Do or be done to.Act or be acted upon.

Eve gave birth to Cain and Abel.One killed. The other didn’t.It was about motion.Emotion.

On to the politicians.What’s the function of the spectator sport of child torture at after parties? This phenomena is not about pleasure-seeking. Who is acting? Who is being acted upon? Who set it up? For what purpose?

Regina Louw, Brussels. Children fed to dogs.The eyes watching in the darkness.The eyes of officers in the ranking system that controls the mass world group.

We know about the research and experiments carried out on human victims in laboratories.And about shock and awe and trauma put into real time.About dream states. About hypnosis. About Savile and Broadmoor.

Information trickles out slowly. A female MP, UK. I ask myself what state of drunkenness was this ‘female MP’ in?Was she put into it or did she pour out the poisoned drink herself?Is she part of a secondary set of victims?Who would believe her? She probably doesn’t believe herself.

A spectator in an audience can be attracted to participate in onstage action.You were there. They’ve got the T-shirt.You stay quiet. You go into the box of tools.

The greater public watching the spectacle/ debacle from the cheaper seats has to close down the entire theatre complex and create the conditions for safety for every single human regardless of race and creed.A new construction is required. It involves careful disassembly and careful assembly.The world is precious. And so are its peoples.If it does not or can not act, it will continue to be acted upon.

cursed the fig tree: The system ,religious and governmental, had not been fruitful and was about to be done away with. Jerusalem had not discerned the day for her being inspected, and was told, "Look, your house is abandoned to you." If a fig tree was leafed out at that season,but did not have early figs, that meant it had what it needed, yet had quit producing fruit.
